One can have a borderless internet without having borderless companies.

Let's take Facebook. We could have Facebook.US, Facebook.EU, Facebook.UK, Facebook.CN, etc.

In a borderless internet, you'd still be allowed to use the one that you wanted, but each would be subject to the laws of its "country". (I realize that the EU isn't a country.)

So what laws is the interaction between users in different countries governed by?
